  • Join us for the third edition of our Thai Yoga Massage training, “Stillness and Flow,” at the serene HeileHaus, a green oasis in the heart of Berlin.We will learn the map of the Energy lines, how to apply pressure, and safe stretches. To loosen up the body and joints we will also include some dynamic techniques.
  • In this training, we will explore and harmonize various influences and styles of Thai Yoga Massage. Our main influences include traditional Thai Yoga Massage as taught in the Sunshine Network, the “static work” of master Pichest Boonthumme, the dynamic Thai Yoga Massage style of Chaiyuth Priyasith, and contemporary elements such as Osteo Thai.
  • We will delve into different rhythms, qualities, principles, and techniques to work in a more creative and effective way. You will learn to resonate with each receiver without force or violence and find a balance between fluid movement and stillness. Understand when and how to adapt treatments according to the client and the situation. We will focus on compassion, opening our hearts, and realizing our true selves, while enjoying ourselves, our community, and life itself.
  • Although this is a city course, we will offer a morning program similar to our previous retreats. The morning program includes meditation and movement practice, which is highly recommended to prepare us for the floor work.
  • Following the morning practice, we will have a potluck-style breakfast, offering delightful surprises and opportunities to connect outside of practice.
  • This course is open to complete beginners but is more tailored to advanced students. Participants will receive a certificate of attendance upon completion. The course will be taught in English.

  • In this workshop, we will explore how to effectively use our feet, knees, and elbows in massage treatments while maintaining the same sensitivity and precision as when working with our hands.
  • We will apply the same core principles used in hand-based massage—moving from the center and utilizing bodyweight. These techniques allow us to apply progressive pressure with minimal effort (through sinking and resting) and help prevent injury to the thumbs and wrists, offering them a chance to recover. A key focus of the workshop will be on correct angles and positioning, ensuring the practitioner can work comfortably and efficiently with minimal strain.
  • This course is designed for advanced students and practitioners from any bodywork background. Upon completing the course, participants will receive a certificate of completion.

  • In this unique 4-day course, we are going to open up the possibilities of offering Thai massage by using our feet.
  • Working with your feet is a great tool to have as a massage therapist, as it allows your arms and wrists to have a rest and can help when massaging heavier people with a strong constitution.
  • During this course, we will address our own issues related to balance, steadiness and centering, which initiates a strong connection to the earth and qualities such as feeling grounded, nurtured and supported. Using the feet in this way opens up the meridians in the foot and brings this level of sensitivity in our daily life as we walk, stand, dance, run, climb and use our feet to move and support us. It opens our connection to the Earth to operate on a much deeper level.
  • In terms of massage treatments, we will learn how to use the feet in both static and dynamic ways in the prone, supine and side positions. We will practice together daily healing therapeutic Qi Gong to enhance this connection to the earth and stimulate the earth channel in our bodies. We also experience how to work with our knees, forearms.

  • This 3-day workshop will focus on the essential aspects of giving Thai massages to pregnant women. We will address key questions such as: When is it safe to perform Thai massage during pregnancy? What precautions should be taken? Which points should be pressed or avoided? How can we make the experience as comfortable as possible for the expectant mother? These and other technical considerations will be discussed and demonstrated by Bali in two daily sessions, where he will give massages to two pregnant participants. Following each demonstration, participants will have time to practice Thai Yoga Massage on each other, reinforcing the techniques learned.
  • As the workshop is focused solely on pregnancy, it is open to pregnant women with no prior experience in Thai massage, who wish to receive treatments, as well as pregnant practitioners who want to give and receive treatments. Couples are also welcome: whether the partner is a therapist or has no previous experience, this is an opportunity to learn how to give supportive massages during pregnancy. In cases where neither partner has experience, we recommend reading materials on energy lines and the theory of Thai Yoga Massage before the course. For them, it’s also a good idea to receive a Thai massage from a Sunshine Network practitioner beforehand.
  • The workshop will take place at the beautiful HeileHaus, a green retreat in the heart of Berlin. To create a cozy and welcoming environment, a delicious vegan and gluten-free lunch will be prepared each day by our valued cook, Franzi Fielder. Herbal teas will also be provided throughout the day.
